When I was in college I could not wait to get out and start living life as an adult but now I would do anything to get to go back to having no responsibility.  Being an adult really stinks sometimes.  This week Chad and I were hit with some really bad news about his truck.  We have to pay nearly 2,000 dollars to fix things that have to be fixed because it is a safety issue.  On top of that this is the first month I had to start paying my loan for graduate school and now because of the situation I am in with graduate school we have to pay lawyer fees.  So we got hit by a bus this week! We are so thankful that we are living in the lake house and do not have a mortgage payment on top of all of those expenses. 

Chad and I have definitely come to the conclusion we are not built for country living.  Do you know how many bugs there are in the country?  They are everywhere and somehow find there way in the house.  Chad killed over 20 flies in one day.  When I drive home it is like I am in a scary movie because it is pitch black and no one is around.  Not to mention there is nothing around and we have no friends or neighbors.  Chad and I said last night that God was really teaching us a lesson of how to live simply because we have nothing at the lake and can not just run out and get stuff.  It is the little things I took for granite being able to do- the lake house does not have an ice maker so I am making ice using ice treys.  This gets so old and really irritates me early in the morning. It would make it worth it if we had a sunny weekend to enjoy the beauty of the lake, but that has not happened yet.  We will definitely be looking for a house close to civilization.
